STATE TALK

|February 2025
As the Chief Minister of Goa, Dr. Pramod Sawant doesn't have an easy job. Here's his vision and perspective on life in Goa, in a motoring context

India's tourism capital may be diminutive in its expanse but its significance, as the world's window to India, makes it all too important. As such, a Goa Special issue would have been incomplete without insights from someone who steers the ship for the state hardly an easy task! The following interview with Dr. Pramod Sawant, Honourable Chief Minister of Goa, was conducted over a brief but memorable drive across some of the state's freshly minted highways.
MW: What's the significance of personal mobility in the context of Goa?
CM: As a state with a mix of urban hubs, rural communities, and a thriving tourism economy, the ability for individuals to move freely and efficiently is not just a convenience but a necessity. At the same time, personal mobility also drives inclusivity and development.
By investing in better road infrastructure, public transport, and green mobility solutions, we aim to ensure that mobility is accessible, sustainable, and future-ready, while preserving Goa's environment. In short, personal mobility is about connecting communities, promoting livelihoods, and building a state where movement is safe, seamless, and sustainable for all.

INTO THE SIMULATION

THE MOTORCYCLE CALLED LIFE
Life seems to be a continuing onslaught of crossroads. And my mind is rather empty these days. Okay, the latter's not a greatly unusual thing, I admit. But the former is increasingly common, and I haven't yet found a way to deal with it; can't really figure out why, but it is the way it is. Perhaps it'll sink in eventually and I'll be able to tell you all about it someday. In the meanwhile, I shall resort to one of my advanced daydreaming... erm, introspective techniques — drawing parallels between life and motorcycles. Heck, to me, life is a motorcycle.
